Apparently Dean's new-found fondness for the Oligarchy knows no bounds. 99th_Monkey Aug 2015 #12

Nothing new: Dean "a moderate at best on social issues and a clear conservative on fiscal issues." Romulox Aug 2015 #19

That's kinda new to me 99th_Monkey Aug 2015 #50

Probably because of the Anti-war thing Hydra Aug 2015 #95

He got angry on television, and that was enough for a lot of people Recursion Aug 2015 #109

I never understood why anybody ever thought he was a leftie. m-lekktor Aug 2015 #90

Neither did I. One of the 99 Aug 2015 #119

it was "the emperor has no clothes" for me in regards to him. m-lekktor Aug 2015 #120

"we'll keep abortion legal, and that should be plenty for you" Doctor_J Aug 2015 #64

So how does Howard Dean now all of those online posters were progressives? Skwmom Aug 2015 #22

Probably because you can't tell the progressives from the RW bigots/racists. R B Garr Aug 2015 #56

The democratic party doesn't want progressives any more, so this is a moot point Doctor_J Aug 2015 #24

But they're more than happy to scapegoat them for the failure to elect their shit candidates. frylock Aug 2015 #35
